Four year old Waverley So Cliquot (Clio) had her first competition at this rather intimidating venue. Unsurprisingly she was a little awestruck but impressed enough to be rewarded with an 8.5 for her canter from Jennie Lorriston-Clarke, head judge.

At Waverley Stud we bring the highest levels of professionalism, dedication and attention to detail to our horses and our dressage breeding operation. We have acquired only State Premium and Elite mares - that is only those who have already proved themselves, either by completing arduous performance tests judged by some of the world's most knowledgeable horse people, or by breeding dressage champions.

It goes without saying that on top of this, our mares must have beauty and charm! These supremely well qualified ladies are the foundation of all we do. Stallions are chosen to compliment them - but only stallions who self-evidently bring something to the party. Not only must a stallion have triumphed in their own arduous performance tests, and be able to add something in terms of conformation or movement, but our preference is also for stallions who have proven they have the temperament and enduring soundness to win at the highest leve ls of dressage competition.

We have a long tenured and really wonderful team who care genuinely about the horses and take immense pride in their work. The result? Horses to be truly proud of: healthy, beautiful and self-confident, eager to do the jobs they were born to do.

About Waverley Stud

Based in the heart of England (near Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire - home of the British Dressage National Championships) we breed and train a small number of dressage horses each year. Using only Elite or State Premium Dressage mares of good character, together with the best international stallions (all of which are Performance Tested and proven) our stock is of exceptional quality and trainability.

Just thought I'd let you know how Rocco is doing - he is
absolutely massive I'm sure he's going to make about 18h at this rate!
But he'll be big anyway like you said and just what I wanted. He's a
lovely boy and stands very good when having his foal feet trimmed. He
let's me go into him and make a fuss - he's so easy to handle - unlike my other foal who is an evil monster in miniature! Hope you and horses are well x (Apr 2012)

'Monik is just super. A really happy lady to have around. She lives with
her best buddy Nora (a KWPN broodmare) and they are excellent mates!' (Oct 2011). 'She is a fabulous mum and was indeed five days early as you said
she would be! She is a joy to have around. She lives out with her other
broodmare friend and despite the ridiculous weather is pretty happy!' (Jun 2012)
